Parking Services

All students attending classes on campus are required to secure a parking permit. Students may register for a parking permit online via myUMBC.

All new students should apply for the UMBC campus card. This photo ID card provides access to a number of campus services and facilities.

Campus cards can be obtained through Communication Services located in University Center, Room 112.
